The complaint:

https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin...?2017cv1953-59


Atlas argues, in particular, that the Union has orchestrated a concerted slowdown of flight operations in an effort to generate economic leverage in the ongoing contract negotiations. It contends, for example, that the Union has encouraged Atlas’s pilots to more frequently call in sick on short notice, to more frequently decline to fly because of fatigue, to refuse to volunteer for open flight assignments, and to delay flight departures by “blocking out on time.” Although Atlas argues that the RLA does not require proof of irreparable injury to sustain the issuance of a status quo injunction, it also maintains that it will suffer irreparable damage to its reputation and business if the slowdown is allowed to continue during the peak shipping season between Thanksgiving and the end of the year.
The Order:

https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin...?2017cv1953-60


ORDERED that Defendants, their officers, agents, employees, members employed by Plaintiffs, and all persons acting in concert with any of them be, are hereby preliminarily enjoined from authorizing, encouraging, permitting, calling, engaging in, or continuing any strike, work stoppage, sick-out, concerted refusal to volunteer for or to accept work assignments (including, without limitation, open time flights), slowdown (including, without limitation, the existing SHOP and BOOT campaigns), or other self-help against Plaintiffs relating to the dispute or disputes arising from the Section 6 notice served in the round of bargaining that commenced on or about February 2016; and it is further

Irrelevant. If you read it, it is like kissing your sister, for both sides.

The company spent $100s of thousands on this lawsuit to let the pilots know that what they are doing is working. I’d say it’s a win for the pilot group.

Hiya, Jeff!

Does this mean pilots can’t call in sick, fatigued, or write up broken airplanes like the original complaint accused them of?

Everybody, regardless of who they work for, should take the time to read the ruling linked in post #2.

It is both illuminating and instructive.
